Need instructions how to use Hoover Steam Vac Spin Scrub. I borrowed it from my Sister and she left it with no instruction book or letting me know how to operate it. I put water & cleaner in top tank. That's all I know to do. Do I put any water in bottom tank? I figured not, since that is probably where the water goes when sucked up by vac. Do I leave lid on bottom tank? I usually use a commercial cleaner, and this is very different. I need to know NOW, as I must return it to her today, and I'm

I have a hoover f5861-900 steam vac. the trigger mechanism seem to not work anymore. Water dribbles out without using the trigger. Taking the water tank out I can see the rod very slightly moving on the diaphragm. I removed the top part of the vac to hopefully reset the rod connection. But, didn't make any difference. I appreciate any help you can give me. thanks

Broken hose The hose on my Hoover F5837-900 Steam vac Supreme broke away from the coupler on the bottom of the unit - under/behind the recovery tank (solution tube is till attached). It might have gotten pinched in there a couple times. Problem - it was glued in the coupler really well, and I cannot get the whole thing out - hose will be too short anyway - is there a way to fix this or a part I can order instead??

No manual We lost our manual for our hoover steam vac. Set it up and water doesn't release. What's the problems?

My Hoover steam vac is not spraying the water. Instead it is ejecting 5 streams. This is a new probolem and in the several years I have used it I haven't had this problem before. I can find nothing in the manual that explains it or "fixes" it;

There is a filter screen under the plastic cover below the brush indicator. If it is dirty clean it. The solution pump works off of vacuum. If this screen is dirty then the pump does not work correctly. Funny, the manual says nothing about this, only ...

Suction Problem I just borrowed the Hoover Steam Vac Deluxe w/ 5 brush agitator from my neighbor and it worked ok for the first few minutes, although the suction would stop and go. When I had enough water to dump I did it and when I put it back on it no longer sucked the water up from the carpet. She admits to having it for 15 years, but why did it have to break on me.
